Sometimes, even as Christians, we don’t easily forget our past sins.
Although we have confessed and repented, they still have a tendency to keep coming to mind.
We lack the confidence in the Lord’s forgiving grace.
We go into a spiritual slump and it seems like we cannot pull ourselves out of it.
There was an article that had a quote by a former Radio Bible Class Counselor, Maurice Horn.
He said, “Some people confess a sin a thousand times. I tell them to confess it once, then thank God a thousand times for forgiving them.”
That is so true. It is so much better than stressing over the past.
When God buries our sins, we are not to dig them back up.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Lord, we know that our repentance and confessions do not merit the pardon of our transgressions. They are needful to receive the real enjoyment of the forgiving mercy You desire to give us. Remembering to continue to thank and praise You, because our sins have been forgiven. We are not to live in the past. Thank You for letting us bring it all to You Lord.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
